"What? His leg is broken?" Only then did Xiao Hua think to check on He Yan and found him lying on the sofa with one leg propped up on the chair, looking pained.
He's been in the army for many years and should be able to endure any hardship, but judging from his current condition, he's probably seriously injured, though it's hard to say for sure he's not faking it.
"What exactly happened?"
Xiao Hua frowned and asked He Yan, but He Yan's face was pale and he did not answer her question.
Kang An stood to the side, looking at Xiao Hua with some fear.
The aunt quickly explained the whole story.
"Here's what happened. Kang An wanted to climb onto the top of the wardrobe to reach the doll. Mr. He saw this and stopped Kang An. He stepped onto a stool to get the doll for Kang An, but he accidentally missed the stool and fell, breaking his leg. I don't know if it's really broken, but seeing how much pain Mr. He is in, it's probably true. Xiao Hua, you should take Mr. He to the hospital right away. He's been lying there for a while."
Kang An stepped forward, took Xiao Hua's hand, and apologized, "Mom, I'm sorry, I was too naughty."
He Yan's lips twitched. He was the one who broke his leg. It wasn't Ye Xiaohua, so why was she apologizing to Ye Xiaohua?
Although he deliberately broke his leg, the apparent reason was that he fell while helping Kang An get the doll.
Ye Xiaohua was speechless and said to Kang An, "Mom's leg is fine, it's not broken, you don't need to apologize to Mom."
"Can you still walk? Is it serious?"
Xiao Hua took a closer look at his leg. He really was giving her trouble. He'd only been with Kang An for a few days and he'd already broken his leg. She'd been with Kang An for years and hadn't broken an arm, had she?
"Do you think I can still walk? It's all broken, how can I walk? Ye Xiaohua, how can you be so heartless? Do you even have a heart?" He Yan said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
"Who told you to be more careful? You broke your leg just by picking something up. Did you do it on purpose?"
Ye Xiaohua didn't really suspect that he deliberately broke his leg; he wasn't mentally ill and harmed himself.
"Ye Xiaohua, am I crazy? I'm a soldier. No matter how well my leg recovers after it's broken, it will never be the same as before. Soldiers have such intense training every day. How could I deliberately break my leg?"
He Yan retorted angrily, but in reality he was very nervous.
"I was just saying it casually, I didn't really think you broke your leg on purpose. Now I'll take you to the hospital, okay?"
After all, it's a serious injury, and we can't afford to delay any longer.
"Then go change your clothes. You can't carry me forward dressed like this."
He Yan pointed to her outfit, and Xiao Hua said speechlessly, "You're overthinking it. You're not worthy to touch my body."
Xiaohua turned to the aunt and said, "Auntie, if you help me lift him up, I'll give you a raise this month and I'll call a car to take him to the hospital."
The auntie was delighted to hear about the raise and said, "Okay, even if you don't give me a raise, I'll do it if you just let me know."
Which older woman wouldn't be tempted by such a handsome young man?
He Yan frowned, looking like he didn't want to, but Xiao Hua completely ignored his request.
The aunt roughly lifted He Yan off the sofa: "Come on, Mr. He, I'll carry you. I'm much stronger than Xiao Hua."
Xiao Hua went inside and changed into a casual outfit. In the early 1990s, there weren't many taxis. Xiao Hua pulled Kang An downstairs to hail a taxi. It was hard to get a taxi at night, and they waited for more than ten minutes before they finally got one. The aunt sat in the back seat with He Yan and Kang An, while Xiao Hua sat in the front passenger seat.
When we arrived at the hospital, an experienced doctor examined me and said, "It's not a fracture, so surgery isn't necessary. Conservative treatment will suffice. Just rest at home and recover. It should be mostly healed in a little over two months. The key is to make sure you get plenty of rest and avoid moving around too much."
Xiao Hua thought to herself that it was good that he hadn't broken any bones, so that he wouldn't shamelessly stay at her house to recover and refuse to leave.
Xiao Hua paid for all the medicine and the registration fee. Normally, he's a soldier and shouldn't have to pay for these things, but they went to a regular hospital, not a military hospital. It wasn't much money in total, so Xiao Hua paid for it, since he was injured at her house after all.
Xiaohua thought she was still kind.
After leaving the hospital, He Yan naturally assumed that Xiao Hua would take him back to her place, secretly pleased with himself, thinking that Lu Zhan's plan was indeed brilliant.
I'll ask him for advice more often when I have free time.
Before she could even enjoy her laughter for three seconds, Xiaohua said to He Yan, "I'll call you a car, you can go back by yourself."
He Yan asked uncertainly, "Go...go back where?"
Xiaohua rolled her eyes at him speechlessly: "Of course it's your own home. What, do you want to recuperate at my house?"
He Yan really wanted to say yes, but he was too cowardly and spineless to say it.
She whispered, "I want to come to your house to recover. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I'll eat whatever your aunt cooks, and I can sit and play with Kang'an. You just focus on studying and preparing for the college entrance exam."
"Heh...you're dreaming. I now have reason to suspect that you deliberately fell and injured yourself so you could pin the injury on me."
As Xiaohua spoke, she flagged down a taxi and said to the aunt, "Bring him over and throw him into the car."
"Alas... I'm not going home, I'm not going home!" He Yan wailed.
The little birds ignored him, helped the aunt hold his head down and shoved him into the car, and finally forced the car door shut.
Finally, she told the taxi driver, "Driver, take this injured person directly to xxxx. Someone will meet him at the gate, don't worry. I'll pay you in advance." Years have passed, and Xiaohua is still wondering how her memory can be so good, but she still remembers where He Yan lives.
As Xiaohua spoke, she gave the driver a 10-yuan bill.
The driver said, "Okay, I guarantee I'll deliver it to you."
"Ye Xiaohua, you can't treat me like this. I was injured at your house. I was injured while getting the doll for Kang An. Why did you send me home? I should have stayed at your place to recover."
He Yan slammed his fist on the car door and roared angrily.
Xiao Hua snorted coldly: "You still say you didn't fall on purpose? Get lost!"
They then flagged down another car and took the aunt and child home.
“Xiaohua could actually leave Kang'an’s father here. I can take care of him. You can go about your business.”
The aunt is a nice person and always warm-hearted, but she occasionally lacks a sense of boundaries. However, she is very good to the children, so Xiaohua tolerates this little flaw of hers.
"Auntie, he can come to my place to play with the child, but he can't stay overnight at my house, understand?"
Seeing that Xiaohua was angry, the aunt didn't dare to say anything more, and only said, "Okay, I understand."
When He Yan was taken back by his master, he was helped off the car by the soldiers standing guard at the gate.
"Commander He, what's wrong?"
